E.G.Red Posted June 12, 2022 Report Share Posted June 12, 2022 (edited) 53,000 Sell out this afternoon (12th June) @ London Stadium Celebrities v World XI for UNICEF.. On ITV . Two interesting managers Harry Redkapp v Arsene Wenger, and a chance to see some stars of the not too distant past Results currently stand at 5-5. One thing it won't be is a bore draw.

GrahamC Posted June 12, 2022 Report Share Posted June 12, 2022 Pretty sure that Roy Keane quote is made up, but as I said about the Nations League, June should be a month when no football is played. Genuinely amazed anyone who is actually interested in football watches shite like this. Reminds me of the film version of Porridge where the inmates play a Celebrity XI that ends up including a regional TV weatherman & an actor whose been in an advert, “we did have one of The Goodies but he’s a no show”. Absolute ******* rubbish, just donate what you possibly can to charity & stop this sort of bollocks. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite enjoyed an initial series they did of this, where they went through an X-Factor trials fortnight, gradually weeding out the ones who couldn’t play, but thought they could. People like Alec Stewart, Damian Lewis, Ben Shepherd, Dean Lennox-Kelly all showed they were decent footballers from different backgrounds. But then it descended into a farce. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a surprise but people who excel at one sport are often good at another, both Lineker & Gary Neville are very good cricketers, James Hildreth of Somerset played county level hockey. That at least makes some sense but I’ll be honest it just isn’t for me & I’m happy to give all football a miss after the playoffs until the new season starts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weepywall Posted June 12, 2022 Report Share Posted June 12, 2022 Not my cup of tea and I would imagine most football fans would feel the same but shifting 53k tickets is not a bad effort to be fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was on Sky One IIRC - “The Match”. As you said it had celebrities from all areas and it didn’t matter how famous you were - if you weren’t good enough, you were cut. The aforementioned Jonathan Wilkes was the best player (although only famous for being Williams mate) and made captain. The celeb team then played against an ex-England XI. Williams, realising he was a talentless publicity whore, then took the idea to ITV, who cannot have an original idea of their own (see Dancing on Ice vs SCD). ITV killed the concept of ability counting to appease the fat dancer from Take That so he could play, and turned it into a vehicle for useless celebrities to live out yet another dream. So, we’re now at a position where we, as the public, are being asked by people who have far more money than us to give money because they’re living a fantasy of being a footballer. In short, they can go whistle. See also being asked to donate because Tax dodging hypocrite Gary Barlow wants to climb Kilimanjaro. Tossers, the lot of them. Take That with an alarmingly high ratio. 2 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I’m fairly sure he played in one of the games a few years ago & had to go off injured. But it will be no doubt something people latch onto, as they have a pre perceived idea of Roy.

I must admit I only went mainly as it was a ground I hadn't been to, and I would guess many were the same. It was a Sunday night and traffic was a nightmare afterwards with many of the buses cancelled or only running a Sunday service. Even the locals said it was worse than usual, the bus company seemingly weren't aware of this match. I bet the majority of kids didnt go into school the next day! No ubers to be had either, I ended up walking 4 miles back to my hotel. And to top it off it poured with rain, thunder and lightening all through.

And Its Smith Posted June 12, 2022 Report Share Posted June 12, 2022 So many fake quotes attributed to Keane. No evidence at all to say he’s ever said those words. Just because someone’s face is next to some words doesn’t mean they said it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think snopes.com extends to Roy Keane quotes, but it’s quite clearly and quite obviously fake. Along with a lot of serious issue nonsense that people just lap up ironically they are normally the ones who tell people to “wake up” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
